Chapter Seventy-One: Thanksgiving
Turning the corner, this is a densely populated area, which is a street intersection that extends in all directions. Passers-by gather here from all directions and go elsewhere.
There is a notice board at the corner of the street, where notices issued by the city lord's office are generally posted, involving people's livelihood, policies, notices, etc. Ling Chen glanced at it casually, but was suddenly attracted by a portrait.
Ling Chen stood still, but Shen Ayaka was still moving forward on her own. It wasn't until she found herself in the rain that she turned around and found Ling Chen frozen in place.
"What are you doing?" Shen Ayaka punched Ling Chen again.
Seeing that Ling Chen didn't answer her, Shen Ayaka also stepped forward to read the content on the notice list.
"Wanted, Xu Chengying?" Shen Ayaka was puzzled for a while.
Ling Chen was also puzzled, why did this person suddenly become a wanted criminal? The crime was collusion and rebellion, and he was guilty of rebellion.
"Do you know this person?" Shen Ayaka turned Ling Chen.
"Do you remember the last time I was arrested and sent to Xing Lisi?" Ling Chen didn't answer, but asked Shen Ayaka rhetorically, "It's him." Ling Chen turned his head to the notice posted on the wall.
"What does that have to do with you?" Shen Ayaka glanced at Ling Chen.
"I don't understand, why is he, as a detective, now wanted by the City Lord's Mansion?" Ling Chen was a little puzzled.
And he has some impressions of this person, and it seems that he has good means. But in the end, he was wanted by his colleagues?
Seeing that Ling Chen still looked puzzled, Shen Ayaka said simply: "The City Lord's Mansion and the Criminal Department have always been incompatible, for example, the City Lord's Mansion, although they are directly under the Peace Alliance, they are under the jurisdiction of the higher-level governor; The Criminal Department is subordinate to one of the eight departments, and they have to be overwhelmed in rank. These two major institutions have been singing against each other for a long time, and they are generally internal incidents that are buttoned for trivial matters. Are you satisfied?"
Ling Chen looked at Shen Ayaka in surprise, this can be regarded as an inside story, how could she know so comprehensively?
"Hmph!" Shen Ayaka turned around arrogantly, looking like she didn't want to pay attention to Ling Chen.
Ling Xiang could only smile dryly, this is on the street, and this eldest lady can't help it. Then he whispered two kind words, and the two of them went to the tailor's shop.
This silk shop and tailor shop can be regarded as a partnership, the old man has gray hair, looked at the receipt handed by Ling Chen, nodded, and then measured Ling Chen's size carefully. The price was 700 yuan, and they were told to take it in three days. Very conscientious old tailor, the price is very fair. Ling Chen gave the money and collected the bills.
Out of the door, Shen Ayaka frowned and said, "Why does this Qiankun bag of yours look so much like a girl?"
"Oh. Ling Chen raised the Qiankun bag, "Wang Qingyun bought it for me, and the storage ring I used before was broken by him, and I lost it." ”
"I'll help you get another one. Shen Ayaka said, a big man, with such a delicate bag, took it out for fear of other people's jokes.
"It's good to use, this kind of thing doesn't see much of the sky, so there's no need to spend money to change it. Ling Chen said.
Qiankun bags are all private items, and few people are waiting for people to steal them in conspicuous places with great fanfare.
"My bag is about to break, and I'm going to change it anyway. I'll buy you a new one, and you give this to me. This one is pretty good, I like it very much. Shen Ayaka said.
"Okay. Ling Chen was skeptical.
As soon as Ling Chen agreed, Shen Ayaka snatched the Qiankun bag directly from Ling Chen's hand.
"Hmph, let me see how much money you have, don't hide private money everywhere in the future. Maybe there's something unsavvy hidden inside. Before I could do it, I quickly explained it myself. Shen Ayaka smiled slyly.
Ling Chen laughed for a while, but he was helpless. Let her flip it, there's nothing in it anyway.
"Huh, what is this?" Shen Ayaka probed her hand and found a piece of red silk, the fabric was very exquisite, like a good thing.
Ling Chen was startled, and suddenly remembered something. I was about to stop Shen Ayaka, but it was too late.
Shen Ayaka took out this thing, and in an instant, the whole person seemed to be petrified. But the next moment, his face instantly turned red, and his hands trembled and he didn't know what to do.
"You... Hooligans!"
Instinctively, Shen Ayaka still shouted this sentence, and slapped Ling Chen.
This ability to slap the face and scold people may be born with girls. After beating Ling Chen, Shen Ayaka ran away quickly.
Ling Chen stayed in place, and his heart was galloping. There is only indescribable bitterness and sorrow. Maybe at this time, only by beating Wang Qingyun violently can he relieve his anger.
There was still some heat on his face, Ling Chen smashed his mouth twice, and muttered: "Xiao Nizi's hand is really strong..."
This scene was naturally understood by the passers-by, and they immediately pointed at Ling Chen.
"Hey, this young man, with beautiful eyebrows, how can he do such a thing..."
"In broad daylight, to do such a thing, it's immoral..."
"Pull to see the officer!"
"Tut-tut..."
Ling Chen hurriedly hid his face and fled, what is this called...!
Let's apologize quickly. I don't know how many apologies I have made this day, and it is not bad this time.
It took a lot of effort to explain the source of this belly pocket, as well as his own character, he is definitely not the kind of lecherous and obscene person, and he definitely has no special weird habits.
Shen Ayaka accepted Ling Chen's apology "reluctantly".
It's so hard...!
In the end, Shen Ayaka still gave Ling Chen a Qiankun bag, which was relatively simple in shape and plain in color, which was very suitable for Ling Chen. Or it goes well with the dress that Ling Chen bought.
It turned out that Shen Ayaka didn't run away because she was angry, but went to buy another Qiankun bag for Ling Chen.
With a sweet heart in his heart, Ling Chen held the new Qiankun bag, and didn't know what to say for a while.
It seems that it has been a long time since anyone has cared for him so carefully and thought so much about him. Even though Shen Ayaka is more extroverted and active, Ling Chen doesn't think this is a shortcoming. On the contrary, he felt that Shen Ayaka was such a sunny, lively and smart girl, and it was his blessing to be with him.
This kind of meticulous care, mixed with love, is the love that Ling Chen's teenagers at this stage are longing for.
That day, the Huxin Pavilion was for a while, and in the end, Ling Chen didn't say his answer. Because he doesn't know if his good impression of Shen Ayaka is liking, and whether that feeling is love. Most importantly, Shen Ayaka didn't give him time to refuse.
So Ling Chen was voluntary.
It may seem irresponsible to say this, but it is exactly what it is. Even now, Ling Chen is very conflicted. He didn't know what kind of emotion he had for Shen Ayaka. It's dangerous, it's like cheating on someone else's girl's feelings. But Ling Chen is not counted either. He admitted that he had a good impression of Shen Ayaxiang, if this feeling was love, then good, Ling Chen admitted it.
On today's date, Ling Chen understood some things, and also saw some things that he hadn't noticed before. Shen Ayaka is an independent and very self-respecting and self-loving girl, she only shows a little bit of a bird in front of Ling Chen. She opened her heart to meet Ling Chen. And Ling Chen felt this love, but it was only one-sided by Shen Ayaxiang. Ling Chen, as usual, talked to Shen Ayaka about some inconsequential topics, and then made bolder jokes.
But he loved it.
He has no parents, even if he has not lacked love since he was a child, but he is always ignorant of the word "love". Fortunately, he has good friends, the group of friends who used to share life and death. If it weren't for their support back then, Ling Chen wouldn't have been able to get out of the Eternal Demon Forbidden.
It's just that from the moment of separation, they have to fight for the future. Everyone's future has taken a turn since that day.
Even now, he still misses those days when it was difficult to say, but happy. Sharing weal and benement, happy and happy. Everyone is thinking about everything for each other as much as possible, and sincerely caring for others. Six people have one heart, and if they have such a few confidants and friends in their lives, they have no regrets.
It may be that he is not suitable for today's life, or he may feel that the days like that used to be more suitable for him. Ling Xiang was impetuous, and until now, he had not been able to recognize the reality. Even if you have a clear goal, even if you work hard to cultivate, you can live aimlessly, and you are just a walking corpse after all. Ling Chen is also searching, finding his full heart. It's not like now, holding someone else's heart in your hand, and you can't adapt to it.
